Sunday, FAREWELL TETONS !

South of Lander, WY ( North of South Pass) found Atlantic City Campground <-? Atlantic City is in NJ ! Anyway camp site we have! As do we have thunder and lightning! As I drove out of TETON NP about 100-150 miles got hit by hail storm (again). We outran it... and newly paved road, with no stripes (none) and wet - and hail ! At this moment it has caught up with us again! Pouring!
Came through very rough dirt road of aptly named Red Canyon. Solid, solid red rock on one side, half a mile across the valley - pastel greens - not a sign of red rock. See attached.
We were in and transversed (legally) US Nature Conservancy land, that is an elk migration route, a moose winter habitat and a migratory flight path for birds.
Driving out of Pacific Creek Camp - pulled over and stopped in awe of Tetons, snow and clouds.
In camp, storm found us and dumped what looked like thunder snow - it truly was hail. See attached.
And on that note: "It was a dark and stormy night, and the captain of the robber band said: 'Come closer and we'll snuggle under the duvet after we finish the hot chocolate...' So there. Nooo, truly!Meer informatie
